I've already developed trust in my teammates -as a player and as a person.

I consider myself a leader of this football team, along with a lot of other guys.

Anybody who has watched me play knows I'm not one of the fastest guys, but I understand what's going on around me and what to look for. I know what the defense is doing.

I grew up on the game.

You want to be playing your best in December and hopefully it'll carry over into January.

I'm out there having as good a time as I did in the backyard since I was five-years-old.

I have the responsibility to work hard and get ready so we can take this team where we need to go.

What we've established (in San Diego) with my growing family is hard to re-create. It's hard to up and re-create that. I know that moves are part of life. But that certainty is fair to say that (not being sold on moving to Los Angeles) is part of it. The good thing is I'm not under contract in a year where we'd potentially be in Los Angeles.

I'm getting better every day.
